Abstract
A query optimizing system and methods employ contextual knowledge about the types and use of data and/or applications in tables underlying a relational database to provide improved queries and/or make recommendations to a query optimizer of a database based upon knowledge of the data and/or application gathered. A multi-tenant database, in which querying is conducted on multiple tenant data stored in a single table, provides for determining tenant-level statistics, data sharing, user/tenant views, user-level access/capacities, custom entities, custom fields and/or other contextual information about users and tenants, and for providing query optimization and/or query optimizer recommendations corresponding to such information.
